SmallBiz Savvy

  When you’re a new virtual assistant or freelancer, time feels scarce. You’re juggling client work, onboarding, invoices, proposals, marketing, and maybe a part-time job on top of it all. The truth is simple: if you try to manage everything manually, you’ll burn out fast. 

  There’s a specific kind of silence that happens right after you deliver a project you’re proud of. The kind where the client is reviewing it, nodding slowly, and you can feel the shift before they say a word. 

  A humorous but honest look at hidden complexity for creatives and solo pros.  If you’ve been freelancing for more than five minutes, you’ve heard it. “Hey, can I ask you a quick question?” “It’ll only take a second.” “I just need your thoughts on something small.” 

⏱️ The Truth: "Urgent" always costs someone something. It’s late afternoon. You’re wrapping up for the day. Then the message comes in: “Can you get this done by tomorrow morning? It’s urgent.”
